Main Rulebook
When a unit is charging, and there is no difficult terrain between the closest model in the charging unit and the closest model in the target unit but difficult terrain between at...
Using up your kombi-skorcha for a fire sweep sounds like a pretty bad idea, especially since most Orks packing those are going to also be packing PKs or something. Here's how it breaks down for the...
What gives you that idea?
Nobody stays still against Orks these days anyways, meaning it's rare that we're going to be hitting better than 5s on anything except monstrous creatures.
We might as...
I'm not convinced Nob Bikers have been completely brought in line. It is certainly much easier to whittle them down with focused fire and templates, but that's always been the case. What's more,...
It's not clear because it creates some pseudo IC-but-not-IC state that has not existed in 40k until this point. Why they couldn't have left it as a retinue (clearly the sort of effect they had...
Off the top of my head - how do we treat cover for such a unit? Since we don't know that you can target the MC independently, since we lack a rule stating such as with the IC MC mixed squad rules,...
People made the exact same arguments about why counter-assaulters don't get furious charge and can't have defensive grenades used against them - "exactly as if" seemed to be exclusive to the one...
When you assume...well, you might know how the saying goes. Hades Alpha never said a word about having a Nidzilla army, that was just you projecting your own personal views on Tyranid players.
...
I don't think even that is enough for the Tyrannofex - I'd have only paid well under 200 points for its base statline/biomorphs (170-180 points perhaps). I really don't think Tyranids are so...
Not to be redundant (I've posted this in one of the rumor threads) but I thought I'd point out that with the way the Tyrant Guard rules work now, they protect the Tyrant from precisely jack squat. ...
Take a closer look at their Immobile rule. They can't move under any circumstances. This doesn't stop enemies from assaulting it, however, and it can fight back in an assault, it just can't...
While it's a bit off topic I can't pass up an opportunity to comment on a strange phenomenon related to what you've said.
I'll get to turn 3 or so of a game, and I've been doing good but it's very...
Actually it's because the spores in their blood can grow into a thin algae membrane just underneath their skin.
Though both explanations are not mutually exclusive.
Tyranids can have just about any color blood you can imagine, most likely.
Took a look at the english codex today as well.
One thing that stood out to me was that the early translations of the german codex neglected to mention that the "Where is it?" rule on Death Leaper...
The wording which has you mixed up (it refers to passengers manning the lasgun ports on the sides) is merely fluff. What follows for gameplay purposes is that any model may fire any gun and measure...
Except at the same time they refuted an argument based on the exact same logic (the way it was written) because they thought it sounded silly (assaulting units using defensive grenades on...
That's what happens when you take those few words out of context. The "exactly as if they had assaulted" was quite clear to me in that it simply refers to the previous half of the statement...
Personally I'd keep it simple, no effects on ranged attacks and damage.
0-g/Vacuum environments classify as difficult terrain (we assume that the models have some way of protecting themselves from...
Certainly. It's buffed the already good Tervigons before their codex even came out! I really don't like this ruling though, it doesn't seem very well thought out as I doubt anyone at GW considered...
Anyone else recall this person putting a shallow attempt at an apology/defense of their position at the end of the horribly formatted page? It went along the lines of "Oh ho, I know there are plenty...
You're debating against fluffy fake science that, regardless of whether you like it or not, is not a point of debate because it is as intrinsic to the setting as accepting the silliness of plasma...
I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss Ionheads when contemplating army lists specifically meant for dealing with the new nid codex. They seem like an ideal weapon for causing a LOT of wounds on the...
I've said it before, but all Tankbustas need is twin-linked on their rokkits to be worth their points. Glory Hogs is fluffy and fun.
